how to get rid of additional space on the right side of chart even though expansion is set to 0?

As per image below.
My personspivots is "jutting out" even though I selected "show today only".

As such, only half the space is used even when it's part of a small grid.

This standard script needs to be modified to do what you want. Make a copy of the script and make the addition to the pp definition in bold and italics. The script below has this change.

PP = if isnan(close) then double.nan else (high(period = timeFrame)[1] + low(period = timeFrame)[1] + close(period = timeFrame)[1]) / 3;
R1 = 2 * PP - low(period = timeFrame)[1]l;

Hi you're right, my ichimoku (default script) is taking up half the space too. How do I get it to only take max 5 bars ahead?
Same adjustment to ichimoku

Ruby:
#
# TD Ameritrade IP Company, Inc. (c) 2007-2021
#

input tenkan_period = 9;
input kijun_period = 26;

plot Tenkan = if isnan(close) then double.nan else (Highest(high, tenkan_period) + Lowest(low, tenkan_period)) / 2;
plot Kijun =  if isnan(close) then double.nan else (Highest(high, kijun_period) + Lowest(low, kijun_period)) / 2;
plot "Span A" = if isnan(close) then double.nan else  (Tenkan[kijun_period] + Kijun[kijun_period]) / 2;
plot "Span B" = if isnan(close) then double.nan else  (Highest(high[kijun_period], 2 * kijun_period) + Lowest(low[kijun_period], 2 * kijun_period)) / 2;
plot Chikou = if isnan(close) then double.nan else  close[-kijun_period];

Tenkan.SetDefaultColor(GetColor(1));
Kijun.SetDefaultColor(GetColor(2));
"Span A".SetDefaultColor(GetColor(3));
"Span B".SetDefaultColor(GetColor(4));
Chikou.SetDefaultColor(GetColor(5));

DefineGlobalColor("Bullish", Color.YELLOW);
DefineGlobalColor("Bearish", Color.RED);
AddCloud("Span A", "Span B", globalColor("Bullish"), globalColor("Bearish"));
 
works perfectly. thank you so much!
You're welcome. If you want the 5 bar limit, the following will work.

Ruby:
def lastbar = highestall(if !isnan(close) then barnumber() else 0);
input barsinexpansion = 5;

plot Tenkan = if barnumber()>=lastbar+barsinexpansion then double.nan else (Highest(high, tenkan_period) + Lowest(low, tenkan_period)) / 2;
plot Kijun =  if barnumber()>=lastbar+barsinexpansion then double.nan else (Highest(high, kijun_period) + Lowest(low, kijun_period)) / 2;
plot "Span A" =if barnumber()>=lastbar+barsinexpansion then double.nan else  (Tenkan[kijun_period] + Kijun[kijun_period]) / 2;
plot "Span B" =if barnumber()>=lastbar+barsinexpansion then double.nan else  (Highest(high[kijun_period], 2 * kijun_period) + Lowest(low[kijun_period], 2 * kijun_period)) / 2;
plot Chikou = if barnumber()>=lastbar+barsinexpansion then double.nan else  close[-kijun_period];

Hi @SleepyZ,

May I know if I can do the same for Classic Pivot Points? I tried pasting it but nothing appears:

If I use the default pivot points (together with personspivots without space), there's still a huge expansion on the right.

Code:

# Source code isn't available.

input showOnlyToday = No;
input timeFrame = {default "DAY", "WEEK", "MONTH"};

plot R3 = Double.NaN;

plot PP = Double.NaN;

@c0der This might work. Since the source code is hidden, you have to reference each individual plot
Code:
input showOnlyToday = No;
input timeFrame = {default "DAY", "WEEK", "MONTH"};

plot R3 = if isnan(close) then double.nan else pivotpoints(showOnlyToday = showOnlyToday, timeFrame = timeFrame).r3;
plot R2 = if isnan(close) then double.nan else pivotpoints(showOnlyToday = showOnlyToday, timeFrame = timeFrame).r2;
plot R1 = if isnan(close) then double.nan else pivotpoints(showOnlyToday = showOnlyToday, timeFrame = timeFrame).r1;
plot PP = if isnan(close) then double.nan else pivotpoints(showOnlyToday = showOnlyToday, timeFrame = timeFrame).pp;
plot S1 = if isnan(close) then double.nan else pivotpoints(showOnlyToday = showOnlyToday, timeFrame = timeFrame).s1;
plot S2 = if isnan(close) then double.nan else pivotpoints(showOnlyToday = showOnlyToday, timeFrame = timeFrame).s2;
plot S3 = if isnan(close) then double.nan else pivotpoints(showOnlyToday = showOnlyToday, timeFrame = timeFrame).s3;

plot R2 = if isnan(close) then double.nan else pivotpoints(showOnlyToday = showOnlyToday, timeFrame = timeFrame).r2;
plot R1 = if isnan(close) then double.nan else pivotpoints(showOnlyToday = showOnlyToday, timeFrame = timeFrame).r1;
plot PP = if isnan(close) then double.nan else pivotpoints(showOnlyToday = showOnlyToday, timeFrame = timeFrame).pp;
plot S1 = if isnan(close) then double.nan else pivotpoints(showOnlyToday = showOnlyToday, timeFrame = timeFrame).s1;
plot S2 = if isnan(close) then double.nan else pivotpoints(showOnlyToday = showOnlyToday, timeFrame = timeFrame).s2;
plot S3 = if isnan(close) then double.nan else pivotpoints(showOnlyToday = showOnlyToday, timeFrame = timeFrame).s3;

@c0der I'm unable to find your post in the other thread regarding this pivot point indicator. If I remember its contents correctly; referencing other plots using the PivotPoints() indicator isn't possible if they are not coded into the actual PivotPoints() indicator. Instead, they need to referenced either from a different built-in indicator or the logic needs to be coded manually.
